Operating the CD Player/Recorder
Recording an audio CD
In addition to playing CDs from your computer’s CD-ROM drive, you can record and save
them as music files on your computer’s hard drive. When you insert a CD into your com-
puter’s CD-ROM drive, the Wave/PC
™
software prepares itself to record all tracks on the CD.
It indicates this by placing a check mark next to each track title in the music finder window
(see the
Record
column in Figure 16).

some tracks you do not want to record, click the checkbox beside the track to clear the
